Boy, one for the When I Was A Kid file for sure! Mayberry on steroids before there was a Mayberry! Travel now down the road to yesteryear and learn how things were in the good ole days! A tale of shootin’ and teachin’ and small town life. Oh yeah, did I mention there was prayer in school????

Investigators said 46-year-old Walter Lance grabbed a woman who was walking her dog in Milliken Park on Sunday afternoon. They said Lance choked the woman, made her take off her clothing and tried to rape her. (Full Story)

Lance is in custody and was denied bond on Monday.

Sheriff Chuck Wright opened his news conference by saying, “Our form of justice is not making it.”

He said, “Carry a concealed weapon. That’ll fix it.”

Wright said Lance had been charged numerous times with crimes against women, and other crimes such as resisting arrest and escape.

He just served 14 months on a federal probation violation for being in possession of a weapon. I don’t think every single person needs to be in jail forever, but I believe this animal right here (holds up picture) don’t deserve to be out in our society walking along aside of our women. I don’t think that this animal should have a right or an option to try and violate a lady who is a good upstanding member of society and doesn’t cause trouble and now has to live along with her family and friends has to deal with this senseless act.

Now I don’t want to make this just a crime against a woman, this is a crime that is, this is a horrific crime. This ladies life was theatened so many times during this act, it’s almost too bad that somebody with a concealed weapons permit had not walked by and heard the cries. That would fix it. That would have fixed this.

It’s gonna get, if we don’t do something in our society to change the way our justice system is not working, that’s about what you’re gonna start having. People are sick and tired of doing the right thing, doing the right thing, doing the right thing, and then people popping out of the back doors of the jails on account of some technicality.
